About Me

I am happily married to the most wonderful man I ever took a chance on. I enjoy time spent in the kitchen - it relaxes me.
As someone pointed out to me, the kitchen is often the heart of the home. It is in ours.

Mr. & Mrs. Potts!

Established November 8, 2008

This started as a way to chronicle my love of all things food - grocery shopping, cooking stores, recipes, baking, cooking and experimenting.

I found that however much I love food, there are other things that occupy my time/thoughts. Some serious - God, family, health, love and more. Other thoughts are definitely not serious - fashion, cosmetics, moisturizers, conditioner and perhaps even my search for the perfect pair of running shoes.

Why share all this with "strangers"? My husband, Mr. Potts, tells me I am a chatty Cathy something akin to a wind up doll where you pull the string and the chatting starts. He appreciates the fact that I choose to spare him (sometimes) all these random thoughts. Yet, he also benefits from my musings on food and my experiments in our kitchen.

Fabulous Friday!

Happy Friday Everyone! It's here - another edition of Fabulous Friday! A highlight of all things fabulous that I've stumbled across over the course of this week (in no particular order, of course!).

One of the first things I'd like to highlight is a special blogger. I've been following Julie from That Girl & her Pug since I started. She's real. She's honest - she shares what's going on in her life without making everything rainbows, unicorns and sprinkles. Yesterday she took me back to some of my favorite TV shows(and especially made me miss Sex and The City!) and she's in love with Fall (just like me!). She's simply fabulous - go wish her a happy Friday!

Next up? A new watch. I know that my Cartier lust won't be fulfilled for some time (hey, a girl can dream right? And if you're going to dream, dream BIG I say.) so I thought a new MICHELLE watch would fill in nicely for the Tank watch. Still a little on the pricey side, so I doubt this will happen any time soon.

I may have mentioned that I'm ready for fall and I just might have mentioned that I love sweaters & soft squishy sweaters. I found this one from Banana Republic and am ready to wear it! Fabulous color? Check! Comfy, wrap your arms around you fit? Check! Soft, not too wooly? Check! I think I may have to go snag one of these.

I recently stumbled into a Bath & Body Works Store. I don't normally head in there as the scents are typically too sickly sweet for me. I can't do the lotions (unless it's the kind in the blue packaging). When I stepped in there a few weeks back I was killing a little time and decided to check out the candles. I'm a huge believer that candles can enhance a room. Can make it more romantic. Can add a scent that will make people think they're in the middle of fall. Can disguise the smell of scorched pans - not that I EVER do that! While in there, I found the Leaves candle. Talk about smelling like fall! Love it! If you're in need of a fall candle, I would highly recommend this one!Last up - I love these BCBGMAXAZRIA boots. Love them. Love the detail, love the toe, love the heel, love the color. LOVE.

Aren't you all glad it's Friday? We're in for a weekend of rain here, so I'll be snuggling under my favorite blanket and watching movies/DVR.
